Tolerance compensating devices for accommodating variations in dimensional tolerances of manufactured parts and workpieces such as those utilized in the assembly of motor vehicles are known in the art. By accommodating variations in manufacturing tolerances of workpieces, it is possible to avoid manufacturing and assembly line delays and issues while maintaining desired fit and finish or functional clearances between workpieces. Tolerance compensation is particularly important where an assembly includes a high number of workpieces or components, a high level of complexity or a significant styling component.
This document relates to a new and improved tolerance compensating device that is inexpensive to produce while accommodating a wide range of manufacturing tolerances. As such, the new and improved tolerance compensating device represents a significant advance in the art.
